The Manx (Kayt Manninagh or Stubbin in
Manx) is a breed of cat with a naturally
occurring mutation of the spine. This
mutation shortens the tail, resulting in
a range of tail lengths from normal to
tail-less. Many Manx have a small "stub"
of a tail, but Manx cats are best known
as being entirely tail-less; this is the
distinguishing characteristic of the
breed and a cat body type genetic
mutation. The Manx are said to be
skilled hunters, known to take down
larger prey even when they are young.
They are often sought by farmers with
rodent problems.
The hind legs of a Manx are longer than
the front legs, creating a continuous
arch from shoulders to rump giving the
cat a rounded appearance. Ears are
smaller than most cat breeds and Manx
can come in any color, including
Tortoise-shell, Tabby, Calico, and all
solid coat colors. Heads are round in
shape, and often very expressive, with
cute eyes and small nose. |
